5.NUISANCE ALARMS

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible products from the kitchen.

This model 0910 has a SMART HUSHTM control that is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more information refer to Section 4,

OPERATION AND TESTING.

If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the alarm.

6.MAINTENANCE

BATTERY ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION

NOTE: Three Lithium-Ion batteries, permanently sealed inside the alarm, power this unit; no battery installation or replacement is necessary for the life of the alarm.

WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE ALARM FOR ANY REASON!

To activate the alarm, attach the alarm to the mounting bracket by rotating in the direction of the arrows on the cover, see ACTIVATING ALARM in Section 3 (INSTALLA-

TION INSTRUCTIONS).

This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every 40-45 seconds, for a minimum of thirty (30) days, at the end of the life of the alarm to indicate that the alarm needs replacement. To deactivate the alarm remove the alarm from the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in the direc- tion indicated by the arrows on the cover of the alarm and locate the crosshatched area on product label. NOTE: If the tamper resist feature has been activated, see TAMPER RESIST FEATURE in Section 3 (INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS).

WARNING! DO NOT DEACTIVATE THE ALARM UNTIL THE END OF THE ALARM LIFE, WHEN A “CHIRP” IS HEARD EVERY 40-45 SECONDS. ONCE THE ALARM IS DEACTIVATED THE BATTERIES WILL BE DEPLEATED AND THE ALARM WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION.

WARNING! ONCE THE ALARM HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED, IT CANNOT BE REACTIVATED!

WARNING! ONCE THE ALARM HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED, IT CANNOT BE MOUNTED ONTO THE MOUNTING BRACKET!

Break out the crosshatched area with a screwdriver or similar tool. Using a screwdriv- er or similar tool slide the exposed piece towards the center of the alarm. This will deactivate the alarm, stop the low battery “chirp” and render the alarm safe for disposal by draining the batteries.
